School-based mental health services are available for children identified by their school as needing additional support beyond what the school offers as part of their education system.
Our therapists provide counseling services onsite in the school setting, ultimately removing barriers for children and families.
With early identification, evaluation, and treatment, children and adolescents living with mental illness can achieve success in family life, in school, and in work.
For more information or to request and appointment please call us at 507-287-2010 or contact us by email.
